Premier announces immediate response, vows to defend B.C. against Trump tariffs
Government of British Columbia
The incoming US tariffs are a betrayal of the bond between our countries and an attack on BC and Canadian families. We are standing up for BC's workers and businesses: supporting the billions in national retaliatory tariffs from Ottawa and launching immediate BC counter-measures.Our first steps in response to the tariffs include:
1. Responding with tough counter-actions:
• Directing BC Liquor Distribution Branch to immediately stop buying American liquor from "red states" and remove top-selling "red-state" brands from the shelves of public liquor stores
• Directing the BC government and Crown corporations to buy Canadian goods and services first
2. Strengthening BC's economy:
• Assessing private-sector projects with the goal of getting them approved as quickly as possible
• Issuing their permits faster
• These projects are expected to create 6,000 jobs in rural and remote communities
3. Diversifying our trade relationships:
• We already have new trade missions planned to strengthen relationships across the world
• Working together with governments across the country to knock down barriers within Canada
• Supporting the federal government in implementing actions to protect BC's workers, businesses and economy
Business, industry, labour and First Nations leaders are all at the table with the government, supporting BC's tariff response.
At this pivotal moment, we're presented with a choice; to act or back down. To us, the choice is clear. We’re doing what it takes to protect BC jobs, wages, and the services we all rely on.
BC has the natural resources, geographic location, and trading partners to remain strong in the face of unjust tariff threats from Donald Trump. We are ready to leverage these strengths to protect BC jobs, wages, and the services we all rely on.
